Overall
I've gone through several of these shoes (probably 12). They are tried and true for my hilly terrain. They start to feel flat around 300-350 miles (6'1 155lbs). I've never gotten injured in them and I seem to recover just fine from casual running with occasional workouts.

The Reacts are my favorite running shoe and not just the version 3. The first and second version were just as good too. Very comfortable and cushioned, but not so cushioned that putting spikes is a huge contrast. I found that to be the case with the Nike Invincibles. I pray that Nike doesn’t dramatically change this shoe when they release the 4th version.

Love this shoe. Very good cushion, not too much but just enough. Fits the foot really well. Good for the lower legs :)

60 mpw training for a marathon came from the New Balance Fresh Foam More v3
5/5
Overall
The previous version felt more bouncy, but the cushioning feels just as good on this latest version. The upper is more refined and feels less bulky and more breathable, meaning I can run in warmer temperatures now without opting for another shoe. An ideal shoe for heavier runners who aren’t running more than half marathon distances.
